To think this 'heartbroken man' is an absolute creep?

[pictish]

This guy is playing piano in public to show his ex how much he 'loves' her.

This reminds me a bit of an awful programme I once saw where people tracked down their "long lost love" from their past and turned up again to surprise them. It was the most cringe-inducing thing ever.

Hopeless romantic gestures used to be celebrated.
Or to put it another way, acts of control, coercion, stalking and harassment used to be disguised as grand romantic gestures.

If that was a woman doing that she'd the article would have implied she was a mental bunny boiler.
Yes, MsGane

How is it stalking?

hmmm... I wasn't aware that I was "going on" about romance! Or anything, really. Gosh people project a lot.

He probably slept with her sister. Now he wants to prove that his love is constant after all.

Maybe there was a disagreement about whether Chopin is better than Purcell. So now he will play piano to admit she was right and he was an arse to argue about it.

These fantasy backstories are as valid as anything else projected in this thread.

I can't seem to find the Instagram/FB pages?

Anyone have a linky?

Four months! He doesn't even know her, let alone love her. His stunt proves beyond doubt that he doesn't respect her.

He seems terribly immature for 34.

She found out what a loser he is and ran a mile. Good on her.

Oh gosh, he looks and behaves exactly like a younger version of my Uncle John - who had similar rational thought processes.

He sounds like a real catch then. Deadbeat father. Run up debts. Perhaps he'll be on Jeremy Kyle next week.

Which fantasy back story?

The one where he tries to guilt her into seeing him

Or the one where people insists his controlling behaviour is romantic and shpuld be celebrated?

For 'love'? I think he's spelling 'attention' wrong.

Oh for fucks sake,have a wank and get over yourself

Maybe there was a disagreement about whether Chopin is better than Purcell. So now he will play piano to admit she was right and he was an arse to argue about it.

The first ever row I had with my now wife was over the respective merits of Status Quo's 'Down, down' and 'Caroline'

If they'd split up due to some piano related argument lljkk then I suspect that he would have told the newspaper so, and then yes, maybe he'd have a point. But they split up because life got in the way aka she doesn't want to go out with him any more.

yanbu total creep

Come on, SweetLuck, that's still projecting. His words were really vague about why they broke up.

Lightlights people who know him coming forward and saying what I total arsehole he really is.

@Lightlights: can you link to those quotes? I haven't seen that info. All the comments on the newspaper link are like the ones here, calling him a creep on principle. No one says they know him IRL.

I'm wondering how you lot feel about movies where James Bond goes to extreme lengths to risk his life to save the sexy girl (who he has usually known for less than a week). Whatta creep, eh?

Oh fuck, given our relationship history involves rows about the Quo, does this mean I have to stand in a park in double denim playing the same three chords on a battered telecaster ad infinitum?

I think what I've always thought about James Bond that he's a borderline sadist and fully paid up mysogonist who sees women as nothing but a collection of orafices.

Most lead men in movies are possessive judgemental mysoginistic arseholes tbh.

And perhaps of women weren't portrayed as helpless clueless "always need a man around " bimbos who forget everything the guy ever did in response to some grand gesture engineered merely to manipulate her into saying yes, maybe idiots like this wouldn't think it would work

James bond is meant to be a seriously damaged individual. The books are closer to the daniel Craig version.

He isnt likeable or charming. A total twat really.

lljkk he had said he wont stop until he physically cant carry on or she goes back him.

He is saying 'if you dont come back i will hurt myself'.

Thats not romantic. Its controlling!

DD says exactly all those things already about James Bond, BoysofM. She has an equally scathing opinion of John Lennon for same reasons.

I'm sure I've seen lots of movies where the girl gets mad at boy, dumps boy, & boy does some grand romantic gesture to try to win her back. Does MN jury find those protagonists all creeps?

Could you guys think of a reasonable grand romantic gesture to try to win back a girl, Or are such gestures all inevitably creepy guilt moves?

How do you feel about the phrase "She fought for her marriage." Is that describing a creep, too?
